What begins as a fun and exciting journey though the lives of Kain and Raziel becomes an uninspired and rather repetitive adventure.

A competent game – definitely noticeably short of perfection, but nonetheless playable.

Some decent voice acting would have added just that much more to the feel and presentation of this title – so I was disappointed when I realized it was just going to be a text delivery system for the story.

Another solid game from Nintendo – it features a few new tweaks on the old formula but it’s more or less the same game with new boards, new mini-games and a few new characters.

It certainly isn’t a perfect peripheral, since the unit needs ample lighting in order to work well, but it does provide countless hours of entertainment.

While I feel that Return of the King doesn’t offer as many new features as those found in the "Two Towers," the features that it does add are quite impressive and work well.

If you don't own a PS2 or you just never got around to playing these games now is the golden opportunity - deals simply don't come much sweeter.

While it lacks a lot of actual scenes from the new film (it uses more footage from the Two Towers and the Fellowship of the Ring with Gandalf doing voiceovers), it still tells the final part of the story and will spoil many facets of the film.

Featuring a beautiful storyline with many personable characters, a well written musical score and an incredible amount of exciting and variable gameplay, Fire Emblem is one of those few games that you must own.

I found the driving parts lacking and dull – the shooting wasn’t as refined as it could be, though it was a step above the driving elements.

The gameplay is quite good, with each turtle possessing his own style of gameplay, but the overall redundancy and ease that the game offers up is simply inexcusable.

The reality of the younger audience aspect is that it isn’t as deep as other EA sporting games and therefore the lasting appeal will drop significantly for older gamers.

Though the game still falters a little bit with spelling acceptance and variations, the overall additions that have been made are solid and easily make the game a lot of fun to play.

Some may be put off by the fact that you have to control two characters within the realm of the game, but I found it to provide an interesting challenge which only made the puzzles and the overall game that much more pleasurable.

One of the best strategy RPGs I’ve had the opportunity to play.

Simply one of the best tennis games on the market. While it lacks a decent online doubles mode, the game still manages to provide an unbelievably fun arena in which players can engage in online play.

If Neversoft is doing what I hope they're doing, and that is using THUG as a bridge towards a lot of fully realized ideas then Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 6 is going to be damn awesome.

Those who stick with the clunky interface and difficult scripting options will be able to pull off some truly incredible pieces of work.

One of the most enjoyable breaks from traditional gaming to date. The possibilities are endless, the amusement factor is high, and the gameplay is quite easy to learn.

The camera is a bit odd and the fact that almost all of the RPG elements have been removed may turn some people off, but the fact remains that Lament of Innocence is a fantastic classically inspired game that both hardcore fans of the series and action/platform gamers can enjoy.

Sadly, the two player mode takes a really hard hit in the end, as the split screen view offers up a very difficult view of the action; but if you have an iLink cable and an extra TV and PS2, the game can be a lot of fun.

While lacking any truly new updates in graphics and sound, makes full use of the e-Reader, only adding to the overall potential that the game has to offer. It’s perhaps the first game to actually use the peripheral in any truly rewarding sense.

The incredible controls, stunning graphics, and beautiful soundtrack simply make Crimson Skies one of those rare games that never waver in its presentation, giving gamers an experience that can truly be appreciated on every level.

First of all, the overall length of the game is quite low and the fact that you can’t really die doesn’t help in this respect. Secondly, the action within the game is unbelievably redundant.

Though the game mechanics are sound, the simply repetitious nature of the game makes it a chore to play through.

I honestly had some doubts, as "one mountain" sounds a little shallow or limiting – but it wound up working out fantastically - ironically offering the most variety of the trilogy.

Those looking for a good old fashioned beat ‘em up, with a slightly new twist, would do well to check out this game.

The entire experience, to me, felt like I was playing through the tutorial – for the second time. However, children ten and under could learn to love the relaxed, fairly undemanding, nature of Tak.
